Follow up to CPU temp question - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Well here's my original message here

I did some searching and found this site to have good prices and free shipping (I am very low on funds) but don't want to see my computer go out on me.

Would the Volcano 8 or 9 work for me or does someone have a different suggestion? My CPU is an Athlon XP 2000+ 1.25 ghz.

Thanks in advance

Thermalright SLK-900A is the uber-heatsink for Socket A, strap any grease/fan on that and you will see really low temps

I have a Volcano 8 w/ a copper bottom on a Barton 2500, my temps dropped like 20-25 degrees (now its like 45) from a cheap Coolermaster fan that had it up in the 70's.
Plus it only cost me about $10..

I'll second that. I have a 900A on my 3200+, and my temps are always low as hell.

Although, I'm sure a Valcano 8/9 would work great on his 2000+.

Thanks again

I'm using a Volcano 9+ and it works great with my 1900+. I'm usually 41 celsius idle and 45 full load. My old CPU fan used to keep it at 59 celsius idle and 60+ full load.

I'd sorta worry about the company, though. http://www.resellerratings.com has them as a pretty poor company. Their returns and tech support services have really, really low scores (like 3 out of 10). It looks like they have damn good prices, but if it comes broke, you're probably screwed.
